No, setting CONFIG_SHELL is strongly recommended, otherwise we get bootstrap 
failures with libstdc++ and libjava on Solaris 8 and earlier (Solaris 9' sh 
seems to be more cooperative in this matter).

I never ran into the problem (but I don't install that often) so I initially 
thought this was a Bash issue, but Phil references bug 11273, which seems to 
point to a libtool issue. It might be a subtle interaction between libtool 
and the config shell.

I'll do some testing tomorrow on the 5 versions of Solaris I have access to, 
by strictly following the build procedure we recommend, and I'll report my 
findings.
